With many new football seasons about to kick-off, readers here might also be interested in reading Football Statistics. This blog - maintained by Dan Brown - has some really interesting material.
Dan graduated from the University of Oxford with a PhD in Economics and is an avid football fan. As he says himself: "the main focus of this blog, I test football clichés with data. Accompanying each short blog post is a link to a more in-depth analysis for interested readers."
He also uploads his Stata code for replication purposes. This is a really useful tool and could be very helpful to undergraduate and postgraduate economics students trying to engage in sports economics research.
The most recent post on the blog - "Quantifying the dark arts: How do players steal yards at free kicks?" - can be found here.
